COVINGTON, LA – US Support Animals donated to the American Red Cross to aid in Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Harvey, and Hurricane Maria disaster relief efforts. Additionally, the official support animal registration organization donated to a local organization to assist the victims of the Mexican earthquakes. The humanitarian aid administered by these two groups is unparalleled in times of need.

Paul Masso, a graduate student in Drexel University’s M.S. in Professional Studies with a concentration in homeland security management, understood that the technicalities of homeland security were only the beginning of a fundamental education in the field. He knew that, more importantly perhaps, he needed to learn, in his own words, “The importance of effective communication among co­workers, as well as upper management, to provide the wanted outcome.”
